Pros

Good benefits package, they're making money.

Cons

Turnover is very uncommon but I don't think that's necessarily a good thing, it created stagnant culture. The people I saw leave our get let go are those who had unique viewpoints and/or tried to push for change. CEO is very smart but did not seem to welcome any challenging voices or viewpoints. Fortunately the insurance industry does not require great feats of innovation to survive.

Pros

They have been quite successful for the past several years after a period of financial instability. On very solid ground now. Profitability very good.

Cons

They have a taste for acquiring other companies. Not necessarily a bad thing if done correctly but it can lead to a lot of change. Change can be really good or really bad. If you don't like change this isn't the place for you.
